English language[edit]

The page has awkward and incomprehensible language, such as The article zh:卡申银矿 (Kashin Silver Mine) cites texts that do not exist in the true source, after the fact checking, there wasn't a silver mine in ancient Russia. Could someone attempt to revise this page to make it clearer? –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 08:18, 18 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Probably couldn't. user:折毛 used the books in Chinese and Russian language to support her fictional contents. The Chinese wikipedians are also working on fact checking, too. --Beta Lohman※Office box 08:55, 18 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Copyedit done, as requested. --benlisquare_T•C•E 04:27, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
